Home / Accommodation / Friends Serengeti Tented Camp

Friends Serengeti Tented Camp is a comfortable safari camp set in the heart of the Serengeti, giving you a real bush experience without losing the comfort you need after a full day of game drives. The camp is surrounded by open wilderness, so from the moment you arrive, you feel close to nature, wildlife, and the peaceful atmosphere that makes the Serengeti so special.

The rooms are designed in a classic tented safari style, with proper beds, private bathrooms, hot showers, and enough space to relax comfortably. It is not an overly luxury lodge, but it gives you exactly what most travelers want in Serengeti: clean comfort, warm service, good food, and a strong feeling of being inside the wild rather than far away from it.

One of the biggest reasons to choose Friends Serengeti Tented Camp is the location. Staying inside or near the Serengeti game-viewing areas means you can start your safari early and enjoy more time with wildlife, especially during the best morning and late afternoon hours. This gives you better chances to see lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, leopards, cheetahs, and depending on the season, parts of the Great Migration.

For clients who want a mid-range Serengeti experience, Friends Serengeti Tented Camp is a very good choice. It offers the balance between comfort, location, and authentic safari feeling without pushing the cost too high. As your safari experts at Tanzania Safari Experience, we recommend it for travelers who want to enjoy the Serengeti deeply, sleep close to nature, and still have a comfortable place to rest each evening.

    Safari May 2026

    This company exceeded everything we’d hoped for. From the start, the tour operator had everything covered — a detailed itinerary laid out well in advance, quick responses to any questions, and a genuine attentiveness that made the whole thing feel effortless. The accommodation was seriously impressive. Not what I was expecting at all — comfortable, well-appointed, and luxurious. We also spent time right in the heart of the bush. A proper treat. The two people who really made this trip were our guide Mariki and photographer Agnes. Mariki’s knowledge of the bush and animal behaviour is something else — he always seemed to know exactly where to go, and his instincts paid off every single time. Agnes has a brilliant eye and captured shots we could never have got ourselves. As for the wildlife — we saw far more than we ever imagined we would. Elephants, lions, leopard, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, hippos — the lot. As a first safari, I couldn’t have asked for more. Would recommend without hesitation.

    Great Experience with Tanzania Safari Experience

    We had an amazing safari with Tanzania Safari Experience, and honestly the whole trip was put together really well by Laurent and his team. From our first message to the last day, they were easy to reach, quick to reply, and clear about everything. The plan made sense, the timing was smooth, and we didn’t have to stress about anything. Uncle J was a big part of what made it special. He knows the parks incredibly well and seems to notice things before anyone else. He’d position the vehicle perfectly for photos and often got us to sightings before the crowds built up. We were lucky to see [your highlights: migration / lions / cheetahs / elephants / a crossing], and every drive felt exciting and different. The vehicle was comfortable and in good shape, and everything ran on schedule. If you’re looking for a well-organized safari with a great guide, I’d definitely recommend Tanzania Safari Experience.

    An absolutely brilliant tour / travel company

    What can I say. How do you explain PERFECTION. I will try. From the outset of our trip Ramadhan and Laurent were excellent. We gave them our requirements and budget and they prepared a program that was outstanding. The whole safari went like clockwork. We were met and briefed by Ramadhan on our arrival and introduced to our driver and guide extraordinar Ngoi. We visited Tarangier, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and the Ngorongoro Crater and Zanzibar. Absolutely brilliant trip, we saw the most extraordinary game. All the accommodation arranged for us was magnificent, especially the tented camps, where we were visited by a lion and elephant, scary but exhilarating. So if you are looking for an unforgettable experience look no further than Laurent and Ramadhan from Tanzania Safari Experience. They truly put clients first and foremost and deliver on their promises. Cheers from a very satisfied Chris and Terri Harvey
